Bug#538827: Change search behaviour to allow other languages

[Omar Campagne <ocampagne@gmail.com>]

Hello:

Moinmoin19 gives me the same problems than the regular. Does it search 
based on index?

Please, compare searches at

moinmoin:

guia del editor (search for text)

and google

site:wiki.debian.org guia del editor

As you would see, moinmoin is not reading the content if the new pages.

However, searching just for 'guia' in moinmoin19 doesn't redirect you to 
the page aforementioned in wiki.debian.org.

I sent the bugs to the package wiki.debian.org. Which is the one upstream?

Thanks, Omar
